Prepress Operator

Remote, South Africa

LearnTastic is looking for an experienced Prepress Operator to join our production workflow remotely. You will work closely with our account managers and in-house prepress team to keep moving efficiently, maintain print quality, and meet production deadlines. This is a hands-on production role for someone with commercial printing experience who understands print specifications, colour management, imposition, and prepress workflows. We will train you on our specific templates, equipment, and processes, but you should already be confident in managing prepress independently. Key Responsibilities:

Review incoming files against tickets, checking trim size, bleed, margins, image resolution, fonts, colour specifications, page count, page order, overprint, trapping, rich black, and missing assets.

Use Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, and Enfocus PitStop to resolve prepress issues.

Coordinate with account managers when corrections require input.

Manage PDF proofs, generate and send proofs for approval, implement requested changes, and issue revised proofs until approval is received.

Prepare press-ready layouts based on press specifications and paper sizes,...
